Installing GNU FreeFont |
|
======================= |
|
|
|
GNU FreeFont can be used in any modern operating system. |
|
|
|
This document explains how to install FreeFont on some common systems. |
|
|
|
UNIX/GNU/Linux/BSD Systems |
|
-------------------------- |
|
|
|
FreeFont works with any system using the free font rasterizer FreeType |
|
<http://www.freetype.org/>. |
|
|
|
* Debian GNU/Linux |
|
|
|
Users of Debian GNU/Linux system will probably want to use the Debian package, |
|
available from the Debian site, |
|
|
|
<http://packages.debian.org/unstable/x11/ttf-freefont.html>, |
|
|
|
or any of its mirrors. |
|
|
|
Install them by issuing the command |
|
apt-get install ttf-freefont |
|
|
|
|
|
* KDE local installation |
|
|
|
Users of KDE can install .ttf files on a per-user basis using the KDE |
|
Control Center module "kcmfontinst", which may appear in the menu as |
|
|
|
Settings -> System Administration -> Font Installer |
|
|
|
This is especially helpful for developers and testers. |
|
|
|
|
|
* Generic X-windows |
|
|
|
1) Fetch the freefont-ttf.tar.gz package with Free UCS outline fonts |
|
in the TrueType format. |
|
|
|
2) Unpack TrueType fonts into a suitable directory, |
|
e.g. /usr/local/share/fonts/default/TrueType/ |
|
|
|
3) If you have chosen any other directory, make sure the directory you |
|
used to install the fonts is listed in the path searched by the X |
|
Font Server by editing the config file in /etc/X11/. |
|
|
|
In some systems, you list the directory in the item "catalogue=" |
|
in the file /etc/X11/fs/config. |
|
|
|
4) Run ttmkfdir in the directory where you unpacked the fonts. |
|
|
|
|
|
Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP; Vista |
|
------------------------------- |
|
|
|
Note that in at least Vista, XP and 2000, the OpenType versions perform much |
|
better than, and are recommended over, the TrueType ones. |
|
|
|
* Vista: |
|
1) From the Start menu, open Control Panels |
|
2) Drag-n-drop font files onto Fonts control panel |
|
You may get a dialog saying |
|
"Windows needs your permission to continue" |
|
a) Click Continue |
|
|
|
* 95/98/NT: |
|
The font installation is similar to Vista. |
|
|
|
In order to use OpenType, users of Windows 95, 98 and NT 4.0 can |
|
install Adobe's 'Type Manager Light'. It is available for download |
|
without cost from Adobe's web site. |
|
|
|
Otherwise, use the TrueType versions. |
|
|
|
Mac OS X |
|
-------- |
|
|
|
Installing on Mac OS X consists of moving the .ttf files to either |
|
/Library/Fonts/ or ~/Library/Fonts/ |
|
depending on whether they should be available to all users on your system |
|
or just to yourself. |
